It’s been almost 50 years since Arthur Frommer (FROE-mer) first published his groundbreaking travel guidebook “Europe on Five Dollars a Day.” In the 1970s, Frommer’s books helped instruct a young Rick Steves how to travel light, on a tight budget, and “through the back door” to interact with the people and authentic cultures overseas. Arthur Frommer is Rick’s special guest on this week’s edition of Travel with Rick Steves, as they reminisce and chat about how much international travel has changed over the past half-century.

Faithful Travel with Rick StevesEvangelical Lutheran Church in America12 min – 23 May 2006Faithful Travel with Rick Steves
Join noted travel author and public television host Rick Steves in an exclusive, five-program journey through church history and global mission. In “Faithful Travel,”
Steves lays out his personal philosophy- and theology-about the nature of “faithful travel.” Steves asks fellow travelers to consider the impact of their travel on the people they meet, to delve deeply into the wonder of God’s created world – and God’s people – and to think carefully about how their travel helps (or hinders) matters of peace and justice.
The affable television host reveals his sense of personal mission and poses some difficult questions about how travel changes lives forever. In short, this video is NOT the usual Rick Steves’ travelogue, but takes viewers
